The things taken for granted were it's most telling. A mother misconstrues that motherhood is about gestures when her backbone is to gift life skills to a child. Survival skills can be inspired by anyone not just the parent. The hypocrisy surrounding the kids was sad. Everyone performing tricks in front of the children for the sake of a selfish purpose is not honorable work. The nannies were as much equipped as AI to care for children and the parents abided by that. AI is not as threatening as a hot nanny who can fuck a rich daddy out of a family. 19-Jun-2026

It was perplexing, had a home-schooled child mentality and the whole started to feel tiresome. The legends jumped into a rabbit hole that's endless and repetitive. I expected something different. 26-May-2026

Minorities walk in white men's shoes without stamping their own soul into them. Adding diversity should have abetted the clash and turned the whole shebang upside down but no one dared. The camera lingered on things that didn't resonate because of repetition. Simon's story was its most riveting and the least thought out. There was obvious sexual tension between him and Jack yet we go through a diary adventure that says very little. Jack's metamorphosis is not based on anything except being a spoiled brat and not a homophobic cunt. Everything has a reason and things that don't aren't because we can't accept them. The flashbacks bored with common words and little attention. The plane crash was a blip whose recreation would have added much suspense and adventure. It would have also added depth to the characters. Why did some kids appear immaculately dressed after the crash? Survival skills were minimal. It was environmentally ignorant. There was no wildlife exploration or fascination. After the hunt there was no explanation on how the kids cut the thing up and cooked it. I wanted to know. If a fire took a chunk of the forest why didn't the kids have to travel to find new fruit? Why did nobody fish? Sharks, anybody? No one got sick? The boys wrecked like Anthony Hopkins and it was exquisite. Piggy was an old soul, Jack was savage, Simon was haunting and Ralph was blackish. The shots were panoramic and eloquent. The island mystery was ripe for a switch but it didn't happen. The ending was a disappointing burp. It was gas all along. 10-May-2026

S1E6. The writers know as much about gay sex as they do cults. If women are allowed privacy with strange men and everybody comes and goes as they please, it is not a cult. Who protects these people? Why do they trust strangers that commit a crime against them? The reason cults are scary is because the individuals are hard hearted and selfish. The funeral was out of context. Unchosen would be considered unworthy. Why is Rose so immature and horny as a teenager? When she starts to wake up, it's an unbelievable transition. Fra wasted his chops on an incoherent character. There are key details that would have elevated it if the whole thing had made sense. 28-Apr-2026

I was entertained more by the performance than the act. Bernthal was a pissy prick with a sing songy accent and ripe for entertainment. I wish the show were its own thing instead of being a requirement. The ending is only great if you believe it. It was an 80's pyschopath's excuse for becoming a killer. Bernthal had chemistry with Tessa and she had chemistry with us. 26-Jan-2026

S1E8. It survives because of memorable shots. The fog, the gumption, It's eyes sparkling, It skipping, It doing anything. The solution seemed too simplified for such an extravagant showcase. 18-Dec-2025

Claire Danes characterization starts askew. I wanted her to get a fix on her Karen neurosis. It was exasperating. A woman that writes about people should be more insightful about people. Brittany Snow stood out more than the script allowed her. Daddy Wreck wrecked but didn't inspire. The last two episodes established what the rest should have been, enjoyable. 25-Nov-2025

S7E 1-3. "Common People" held my interest but self destructed because the lessons were cruel. "Bette Noire" induces panic at the threat of another being outsourced by science. If the logic had taken cues from the performers the tale would have sailed. The science needed simpler explanations because current earthlings can't think that far. "Hotel Reverie" was beguiling but miscast it's heroine. The idea that you can enter a pre-existing film is destabilizing. Issa Rae was a stereotype of what a butch lesbian might look like in the 30's. I never sorted her out. She seemed misplaced. Awkwafina was auditioning for future jobs which meant she did well. The episode played it safe, being black, a doctor and lacking lesbian enthusiasm, isn't noble. The first thing film folks from another world would have noticed is how could a black woman attach a horse's tail to her head? The old movie actors tried but the fable failed for lack of passion. 22-May-2025

S1E1. Great artists sharing the same space is never a bad thing. The characters were written for sketches not filmdom. They were stereotypes. Not all boys need to feel like a girl to be gay and mostly predators have boyfriends with thick accents. I love Tina but she was a whisper. Domingo's entrance broke my spirit and I never recovered. The accent on his lover was too much. Less inflection was not considered? I couldn't hear super daddy Carrell because Will Forte was acting mad circles around him. His nervous energy made me nervous. Whatever they were trying to convey was lost on me. Maybe a live audience would benefit it because I couldn't find a reason to hang on. 06-May-2025

My elder generation dedicated a lot of time fighting for stereotypes like this to be abolished. The new generation thinks this is an honor. Nathan Lane is camping for Broadway, not television. There isn't a lot of time to establish characterization. It's a fable about the almost departed, living together pretending everything is hunky dory when it's not. Lavin and Lane were misdirected, the black queen is a cliche best not spoken, the theme seems out of date but the ass/leg candy combo made me hungry. Nathan Lee deserved better than a Tootie redefinition and Bomer needs more nude scenes not extra stupidity. Dorothy would be insulted. Blanche would say "get out of here!," Sophia would say, "it stinks!" Rose would play dumb. Stan would convince them to turn trans mid-season for a money tree and a subscription to free cheesecake. 01-Apr-2025

The comic strip art is reminiscent and relaxing but it barely moves beyond 90's tech. It doesn't zip or inspire and it jumbles the mythology by prioritizing color. Most characters are repurposed and replaced by minorities that would have nothing to do with each other in real life. They tag white storylines to minorities without logic. It's not art if you copied it. I don't want or need a hot Auntie May. I want an old shrew with guts. I dug deep into my kiddie self and didn't like it. 13-Feb-2025

I get anxious whenever I hear Sandy's voice. She sounds like a spoiled housewife with a lozenge stuck in her throat and her reasoning for everything is ludicrous. I was disappointed that the Lacheys did not comfort Nick for having strong feelings about Sandy's infidelity. She claims that her and JR only kissed twice but cameras beg to differ. There were make-out sessions with extra cuddles under the sheets with no wet willies or stiff underwoods guaranteed and the bedbugs elicited the moans the cameramen thought they heard. Madame Web has spun her web and entrapped two gullible and dependent men in it. She is no victim. She likes them because they are not superheroes but think they are. I'm surprised the Lacheys didn't suggest JR whip out his dick for Nick (not Lachey) to suck. They humiliated that man mercilessly. Sandy brings out the toxic in me. TG it's almost over. Everything JR says is nonsense. Big men don't pretend they're on Fantasy Island on Max, don't want to get married but can't shut up about wanting it and oozes hostility when the jig is up. Is Zaina buying JR's love or paying for her exit? I still dig Caleb. He's the only one who tried to stand up to reason. His mystery deepens. He exists in his own little planet of misfit toys crashing onto earth. He acts like an over-chilled teen that mommy Mariah is afraid to disappoint because he will rebel and she'll have to have sex post relationship. When the original couples reunited it turned into a "how was school today, honey?" type scenario. After cashing in all the vouchers the producers promised them, every person was enlightened, the fairy tale is real, men never get woodies while cuddling, that bitch was not crying over her dog or JR, women are consumed by victimhood, asshole parents make asshole children who want to make more asshole children, the producers made them say that because 4 people thought the show was shit and this has been a turned-off season. 13-Dec-2024

OK, the finale gave me a little something. 11-Nov-2024

I hope Ramses gets to keep his balls. He didn't know that keeping your balls was part of the experiment. I hope Ashley wakes up from reality and the added expense she has taken on. Keep fucking Tyler but don't give him a kid. Oh and film it. Surrogate, my ass. 23-Oct-2024

A neither would be most welcome. 30-Aug-2024
